Figures & data
Figure 1. Metagenomics and other “omics” relationships. Current “omics” approaches to metadata analysis and their relationships to oral microbiology research.
Figure 2. Interactions of the oral microbiome and its relationships with oral health and disease. Different interactions involved in the oral microbiome. Changes in microbial diversity depend on different interactions. Molecular interactions are interactions of bacterial intercellular molecules (DNAs, RNAs, proteins, and metabolites). Microbe/microbe, microbe/host interactions are biological interactions among different organisms in the oral cavity. Microbial ecological interactions are the relationships between microorganisms and the oral environment.
